Audacious Binary Forms for pianist playing one or two pianos, won Australia’s most prestigious piano composition competition the Jean Bogan Prize for Piano Composition 2016.

The world premiere was performed by Michael Kieran Harvey. He is considered by many as being one of Australia’s greatest living concert pianists. Michael specializes in performing world premieres of compositions by Australian composers. He is also a prolific composer of avant-garde music.

ABSTRACT FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTIONS

Audacious Binary Forms for piano is in a fractured binary form. Two types of structures exist; lettered structures, which are experimental structures, and explore the sonorities of the piano, and numbered structures, which are more traditional structures. A structure may be a single page or more than one page. Each page in a structure is to be played sequentially. For example, with structure C, consisting of three pages, C1, C2, C3, each page is played sequentially in numerical order, C1, C2, C3.

EXPERIMENTAL STRUCTURES

The structures A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Percussion, CADENZA, and CODA are experimental.

TRADITIONAL STRUCTURES

The structures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, are traditional.

PREPARING THE SCORE FOR PERFORMANCE

There are four different options for a performance.

MINIMALIST OPTION

The 13 cards cut from the CUTOUT page are shuffled. Card 4 Rag (1,2) is removed.  The 12 cards are placed face down. One card is revealed representing the structure that is to be performed. A member of the audience can be invited to shuffle the cards.

STOCHASTIC OPTION

An audience member or members can be invited to shuffle all the pages of the score. The resultant random sequence of pages becomes the whole score for the performance.

PERFORMER’S OPTION

The performer prepares the structures according to his musical tastes. All of the experimental structures should be performed. The performer is free to play none, some, or all of the traditional structures. Please note that each structure remains an independent structure and is played sequentially. For example, structure C, consisting of three pages would be played C1, C2, C3 in that order.

PERFORMER/COMPOSER OPTION

Months before the concert the performer can contact me at paulcopeland1@bigpond.com, to discuss the performance, and to work out an ideal performance structure for the work, taking into consideration the venue, expected size of audience, size of auditorium, music program, and if two pianos will be available.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SHEET MUSIC SIZE

Please note that the score should be printed on separate pages (the notated pages), not back to back. Ideally the score should be printed on A3 pages in colour. However the score can still be printed in grayscale. 

The sheet music file is approximately 15Mb because the score is in full color.

He has a claim to being Spain's greatest composer of the 20th century, although the number of pieces he composed was relatively modest.
